Hi everyone! I unfortunately dropped my Droid today, and since then it’s been fluctuating the resistance erratically (instead of 0.5ohm, it’s showing 0.77ohm, 0.71ohm, 0.47ohm, 0.57ohm, 0.63ohm etc.), and it frequently gives the “Batt” or “Temp” error message. I need to look inside! I also tried it with another battery, in case the battery got damaged too, but it’s the same.
Petike wanted to be a complete package, but he’s not!
Any ideas what’s causing the error? “Temp” “Batt” What could have gone wrong besides the Droid?
Still, I’m not feeling very cheerful!
It looks like the error has been found. The screw of the test wire has loosened. But the screw wasn’t sitting well either. It was re-soldered, and the solder was removed from under the screw head so it sits properly on the surface and has contact over as large an area as possible, thus reducing the resistance. I am currently testing it, so far everything is okay with it, but I’ll give it a few more days to be sure
Well, these points are definitely not assembled by instrument makers in cheap manufacturing locations, they ruin most of the cheap options with exactly these kinds of difficult, shoddy things. (Actually, this spreads an even worse reputation for something that’s already shoddy anyway… but if assembled professionally, it would operate well and more reliably)
